For the first time in the literature, the three different definitions of the Weil pairing are stated correctly and proved to be equivalent using Weil reciprocity. Pairings with shorter loops, such as the ate, ate$_i$, R-ate and optimal pairings, together with their twisted variants, are presented with proofs of their bilinearity and non-degeneracy. Finally, we review different types of pairings in a cryptographic context. This article can be seen as an update chapter to A.
